Objectives: In this study, the association between parents’ attitudes and internet addiction among adolescent high school students was investigated through some sociodemographic variables.Methods: The research was carried out with 385 students studying in four high schools in western Turkey. Sociodemographic characteristics, parental attitude scale and internet addiction scale were used in the study. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were applied.Results: The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between the combined mean score obtained from the Parental Attitude Scale and the mean score obtained from the Internet Addiction Scale, and that authoritarian parenting attitude increases the risk of internet addiction [OR = 1.70 (95% CI: 1.33–2.18)]. In the structural equation modeling analysis, the model summary fit values were determined to be at a good level (χ2/df = 2.86, GFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.073) regarding the relationship between parental attitude and internet addiction.Conclusion: Adolescents’ internet addiction levels changes related to their parents’ democratic attitude evolve.

ÖzToplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliği, geleneğin ve dinin baskın olduğu ataerkil kültürlerde önemli sorun alanlarından biridir. Sorunun çözüm yollarından biri kadınların, gündelik yaşam deneyimleri içerisinde maruz kaldıkları ayrımcı ve baskıcı tutuma karşı güçlendirilmeleridir. Bu araştırmada, kadınların medya kullanım tercih ve sıklıklarının belirlenmesi, söz konusu tercihler ile toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Manisa kent merkezinde yaşayan 479 kadına toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla Kadınların Güçlendirilmesi Ölçeği (KGÖ) ve medya kullanım tercih ve sıklıklarını tespit etmeyi amaçlayan sorular yöneltilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 21.0 ve Stata 14.1 programları ile analiz edilmiştir. "Muhafazakar" ve "muhalif" başlıkları altında tasnif edilen medya kuruluşlarının ürünlerini tercih eden kadınlar arasında, ölçeğin her üç alt boyutunda da (Kadının Bağımsız Hareket Edebilmesi, Aile Baskısı ve Ekonomik Bağımsızlık ve Aile Ekonomisine Katkı) anlamlı düzeyde farklılık olduğu görülmüştür. Bulgulara dayanılarak "muhafazakar" medya ürünlerini tercih eden kadınların, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin tesis edilmesini amaçlayan projelerin öncelikli hedef kitlesi olması önerilmektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Medya, toplumsal cinsiyet, kadının güçlendirilmesi, aile baskısı, ekonomik bağımsızlık, bağımsız hareket edebilme AbstractGender inequality is one of the major problem areas in patriarchal cultures where tradition and religion dominate. One solution to the problem is the empowerment of women against discriminatory and repressive attitudes they are exposed to in their everyday life experiences. In this present study, it was aimed to determine the preference and frequency of media use of women, and to reveal the relationship between such preferences and gender equality-related attitudes. In order to determine their gender equality-related attitudes, 479 women living in Manisa city center were asked questions to determine their preference and frequency of media use using the Women Empowerment Scale (WES). The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 and Stata 14.1. A significant difference was observed between the scores the women who preferred the products of the media organizations classified as "conservative" and "dissident" obtained from all the three dimensions of the scale (Women's Mobility, Freedom From Family Domination, and Economic Independence and Contribution). Based on the findings, it is recommended that women who prefer "conservative" media products should be the primary target of the projects aiming to establish gender equality.
